INCOSE SEP Certification Overview
INCOSE Systems Engineering Professional (SEP) Certification Program Overview October 2015 TM The INCOSE SEP Logos are trademarks of INCOSE © 2006-2015 International Council on Systems Engineering Subject to the restrictions on Copyright Page SEP Program Overview 1 The INCOSE SEP Program Purpose and Benefits • • The INCOSE SEP program has been developed as the highest quality, independent assessment of system engineering professionals benefiting: Systems engineering community: o o • System engineering professionals: o o • Creates the standard to identify and develop systems engineering professionals . Establishes a formal, recognized body of knowledge for the systems engineering community. Provides a portable standard of recognition for attainment of knowledge, education, and experience. Its recertification requirements serve as a mechanism for continued professional development. Organizations/institutions: o A universal, industry-approved measure of a professional’s knowledge –achieved through the independent evaluation of relevant tasks, projects, and programs. INCOSE’s certification program continues to grow due to the increasing recognition of its value to professionals, to organizations/ institutions, and to the overall systems engineering community. SEP Program Overview 2 Topics • What is certification and why is it important? • Who is recognizing and supporting certification? • What level of certification is right for me? • How do I apply for certification? • How do I renew my certification? • Where can I find more information? SEP Program Overview 3 Topics • What is certification and why is it important? • Who is recognizing and supporting certification? • What level of certification is right for me? • How do I apply for certification? • How do I renew my certification? • Where can I find more information? SEP Program Overview 4 What is INCOSE? • The International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE) is a not-for-profit membership organization founded in 1990 to develop and disseminate the interdisciplinary principles and practices that enable the realization of successful systems. • Mission Share, promote and advance the best of systems engineering from across the globe for the benefit of humanity and the planet. • Vision The world's authority on Systems Engineering. Certification is just one of many INCOSE products and offerings. SEP Program Overview 5 What Is Certification? • Certification is an occupational designation o Provides confirmation of an individual's competency (demonstrated knowledge, education, and experience) in a specified profession or occupational specialty • Certification is a formal process o Issued by an organization • Certification is voluntary o It is neither a barrier nor a gate to entering a job o However, it may be used as a qualifier in placement INCOSE’s Systems Engineering Professional Certification Program is a formal process that recognizes individuals who have demonstrated a measurable level of comprehension (education and knowledge) and proficiency (experience) in performing tasks applicable to the systems engineering profession. SEP Program Overview 6 Origins of INCOSE Certification • INCOSE members supported establishment of a certification program in their responses to a 2001 survey: o Certification will increase the credibility, marketability, and professional status of Systems Engineers o A certification program will benefit employers by providing an objective means for selecting candidates and assessing skills o More than half of the respondents indicated that they would participate in a certification program o Note: Similar sentiments were re-iterated in a 2003 member survey. • The Board of Directors (BOD) of INCOSE recognized an industry-wide void and in 2002 responded to a request by its members to establish a program to certify the knowledge and experience capabilities of personnel who perform Systems Engineering • Certifications have been offered by INCOSE since 2004 SEP Program Overview 7 Successful Systems Engineering Organizational Systems Engineering Processes Experienced, Knowledgeable Systems Engineers ISO, CMMI, etc. Certify SE Processes INCOSE SEP Certifies SE Experience, Knowledge and Education INCOSE SEP focuses on your people. It complements your organizational initiatives. SEP Program Overview 8 Why is Certification Important? For organizations… • Formally recognizes the Systems Engineering capabilities of your professional staff • Can provide a discriminator for your proposals • Can be used as part of the hiring and promotion process • Provides an independent external assessment • Encourages employee participation in continuing education INCOSE SEP sets your organization apart! SEP Program Overview 9 Why is Certification Important? For individuals… • Formally recognizes your Systems Engineering capabilities • Provides a discriminator for job applicants • Provides a competitive advantage in your career • Provides a portable Systems Engineering designation that is recognized across industry domains • Participation in continuing education indicates your commitment to personal development INCOSE SEP sets you apart! SEP Program Overview 10 Why is Certification Important? For your teams… • Allows the team to level-set on Systems Engineering concepts and activities • Helps establish a common Systems Engineering language for your team • Helps break down… o geographic boundaries o organizational boundaries o cultural boundaries INCOSE SEP is particularly useful for multi-organization, geographically distributed teams.

An internal assessment using continuous representation would be recommended. As an alternative, staff can demonstrate their expertise through professional certification programs like the INCOSE Certified Systems Engineering Professional [CSEP] and Project Management Institute [PMI] certification.” Source: http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/cadiv/segb/views/document/Sections/Section7/7.htm, January 2007 SEP Program Overview 15 Pre-Milestone A and Early-Phase Systems Engineering: A Retrospective Review and Benefits for Future Air Force Acquisition Committee on Pre-Milestone A Systems Engineering: A Retrospective Review and Benefits for Future Air Force Systems Acquisition, National Research Council Production of Systems Engineers by U.S. Industry • “…The committee interviewed representatives from four major U.S. aerospace companies … common themes that emerged from the interviews… o o o o o ISBN: 0-309-11476-4, 150 pages, 6 x 9, (2008) o o o o SEP Program Overview Training, not just education, is crucial… All the companies agree that mentoring is essential… Subject matter expertise and/or domain knowledge are more important than is a knowledge of tools… Both internal and external training are valuable; the most successful training approach is usually a hybrid… Certification by and participation in INCOSE are considered essential. All the companies require certification (acquired through the right training and experience), and all participate in and support INCOSE. Investment in SE training is necessary whether or not the return on investment can be directly estimated… A systems engineering culture is essential… Systems engineering organizations vary… The “trigger” for a company’s emphasis on systems engineering is usually failing programs…” 16 Secure Border Initiative RFP US Department of Homeland Security • Section H.16 Key Personnel (b) Key Personnel #2: Senior Systems Engineer o “The Contractor shall identify a Senior Systems Engineer (SE) for the Chief Engineer and the Mission Engineering Directorate to serve as the Government’s major Systems Engineer POC and to provide supervision and guidance for all engineering Contractor personnel assigned to the contract. The Senior SE shall be Systems Planning, Research, Development and Engineering (SPRDE) Level 2 certified or possess an equivalent certification from private industry such as INCOSE CSEP. The Senior System Engineer is ultimately responsible for the quality and efficiency of the Engineering program support.
